Murder Song is a 1990 novel from Australian author Jon Cleary. It was the seventh book featuring Sydney homicide detective Scobie Malone.[1][2][3]

A young woman is killed by a sniper in a Sydney apartment building. Malone discovers the building was owned by a businessman with links to organised crime - who was a cadet with Malone years ago at the police academy. Soon another former classmate of theirs is also killed.[5][6][7][8]
